Hi,
I have a rsync server on a older machine and I'm trying to emerge --sync
another machine to the server. When I do this my emerge --sync times
out. I'm pretty sure that it's because the rsync server is on an old
machine (but I could be wrong) and was wondering does anyone knows how
to increase the timeout time for emerge --sync?
PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS in man 5 make.conf
--timeout accepts a number of seconds, or 0 for no timeout
Would 0 (zero) be advisable? Just curious if there would be a reason
not to set that to 0 (zero).
Only reason I can think of is that if the rsync server isn't available the
emerge will eventually die so you don't have to kill it.
But would it leave that dead connection open and cause issues later?
I'm not a network expert.
180 seconds is 5 minutes - if not one single byte has been sent in five
minutes, I reckon something is badly wrong with that connection
Yea, if after 5 minutes its not doing anything, its not likely it ever will.
